最新报道:Meta is constructing a $10 billion data center in Louisiana that will consume more daily power than New Orleans at peak summer demand. Watchdogs warn that states are allowing tech giants like Meta and Amazon to bypass regulatory oversight for energy infrastructure projects. While Louisiana's Public Service Commission approved Meta's plan after Entergy agreed to build three gas plants providing 2,262 megawatts, confidentiality agreements conceal Meta's cost contributions. Consumer advocates failed to compel transparency during regulatory review, with critics questioning the project's economic benefits and job creation promises.
